Adam Smith talking about how much Adeleye is learning and how much he will come on from this. Frig me he’s losing the rounds by miles and taking damage as he goes.

Booth saying Adeleye's lost on points after 7/10 rounds is something I've not seen this early before

Well they verified that Hrgovic had indeed thrown twice as many punches as Adeleye, and then some. He's landed almost 4 times as many as well.

Adeleye doesn't have the stamina or the punch to try to get by with the style he's got. He's even extremely beatable at domestic level. He's never going to be able to compete on the World level. It's not out of the question he could land a miracle shot, and win or open up that cut worse, but this guy is not a World class fighter.

5-1 Hrgovic

Adeleye needs to throw more than 5 punches a round

Yeah, I'm not sure why Adeleye is in this matchup other than to make Hrgovic look good. Adeleye is no where near this level and I don't know who thought he might be. Hrgovic should've had a better opponent

Just heard Smith at the end of round 6 talking about how much Adeleye will learn from this fight... somehow turning a pretty one-side beat-down into a wonderful developmental opportunity.

I mean he got an absolute gift against Sokolowski a few years back, he HAS really been beaten at domestic level.

Every time I see a mauling gruelling slog like this I appreciate Holmes, Liston, Bowe, Lewis who knew a good consistent jab was key to controlling the fight.

Adeleye's biggest tell that he's hurt is when he sticks his tongue out. Stupid when it's so obvious

Hrgovic opting to take 15 flush shots right in the middle of his massive face there after knocking Adeleye down.

Nice bit of action in the 8th. Can’t accuse Adeleye of not backing up his words. What a two fisted effort by a knackered fighter.
